Lenski Weekly Update
February 16th, 2024
From the Principal's Desk
We hope that your weekend is off to a great start!
We enjoyed making memories this week with Valentine's Day! It has coupled nicely with our Kindness Month focus. Our students have been so loving and kind to one another.
Our 3rd graders got to have some extra fun this week with the excitement of pieing me in the face! Thank you to all the families who purchased a ticket for our auction night on March 1st! We are grateful for all of your generosity! If you haven’t purchased your ticket yet, you can register here! Thank you to our amazing PTO and generous sponsors!
Mark your calendars! Lenski will host Muffins in the Morning on March 1st at 7:15 am before school starts. We hope to see you there!
From the Office
The lost and found area is overflowing! We welcome you to check lost and found for any items your student may have misplaced. All items labeled with names are returned to the student. A reminder that we clear out lost and found items at the end of each month. Any items remaining at the end of the day on Friday, February 23rd will be donated.
School Age Child Care
Dear SACC Families,
As you begin planning for SACC needs for this summer and next school year, I want to share
the following information regarding tuition. The last time LPS SACC tuition was increased was in
the summer of 2021. Over the last few years, expenses have increased considerably. All LPS
SACC programs are committed to continuing to provide high quality, affordable care. Our
programs will have a fee increase to meet the rising costs due to salaries and benefits, snacks,
student supplies, field trip/transportation fees, and required staff training. LPS SACC programs
are not subsidized by district, state or federal funds. SACC programs must cover all operating
costs through tuition and fees.
LPS SACC PROGRAM FEE SCHEDULE BEGINNING SUMMER 2024
● Before/After School Enrollment Fee $50.00 per child (no change)
● Before School Child Care (opens at 6:30 a.m.) - $8.00 (no change)
● After School Child Care (after school till 6:00 p.m.) - $24.00
● Non-student day (6:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.) - $51.00
● Summer Enrollment Fee - $50.00 per child (no change)
● Summer (6:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.) - $51.00
Families sometimes inquire about assistance for School Age Child Care. There are no state or
district funds to support SACC fees, and all SACC programs are self supported by student fees.
LPS SACC programs do accept Child Care Assistance Program or CCAP. CCAP helps eligible
families with the cost of childcare for children from birth to age 12. CCAP is not overseen by
LPS. Parents interested in learning more about CCAP can find information at
https://www.arapahoegov.com/420/Child-Care-Assistance.
Summer 2024 Registration will be open on March 1, 2024! Please watch your email for
information in February!
Sincerely,
Paula Card
Lenski SACC Manager
